Activecrypt Online Help - SaveKeyToString

The SaveKeyToString function saves public or private keys from memory into string. Public keys are stored without a password unlike private keys. The private key MUST be stored with a password. The password should be longer than 4 chars. After saving, the key still remains valid.

Here is an example :


        Dim Privatekey As Variant, Publickey As Variant
        Dim PrivateKeyString As String
        Dim PublicKeyString As String 
        ...
        Set ActiveCryptObject = newActiveCryptLib.RSACrypt
        ActiveCryptObject.GenerateCouple 256, PrivateKey, PublicKey
        ...
        PrivateKeyString = ActiveCryptObject.SaveKey (PrivateKey, "SecurePassword")
        PublicKeyString = ActiveCryptObject.SaveKey (PublicKey)
        ActiveCryptObject.FreeKey PrivateKey
        ActiveCryptObject.FreeKey PublicKey
        ' We must save strings PrivateKeyString, PublicKeyString to some persistent storage ( for example: registry or database )
